About our hog roast hire in Chilton
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Chilton. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. For big birthdays and anniversaries and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a hamlet or village like Chilton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Chilton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Chilton: your questions answered
Is Chilton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
